I agree entirely with NicoleC.

I have three good guitars: a custom-necked flattop acoustic, a carved archtop semiacoustic and a custom solid electric. I love all three (though tend to play the first two a lot more than the solid) but would pick "the right tool for the job" either for enjoyment playing at home, gigging or recording.

All my other acoustic instruments (mandolin, octave mandola, etc.) are fitted for amplification (usually with the utterly excellent PUTW #27 to give a plug for another 'Catters fine product! This gives a pretty "true" acoustic sound and I usually use them with a dedicated "acoustic" amp).

Peace
